Good test design is critical to ensuring your assessments are both ‘valid’
and ‘reliable’.
Test validity means ‘freedom from measurement error’ and ensures that
the exams measure the skills and knowledge that they are supposed to
measure.
Reliability relates to the consistency of the measuring technique, i.e. the
exams should provide a consistent way to measure different candidates
with predictable results.
Strong test design is essential to create this combination of validity and
reliability and G4 Solutions develops comprehensive and credible tests:
Setting test objectives
Defining test domains
Conducting job task analyses to determine and recommend the mix of
skills, knowledge and abilities to be tested
Measuring test effectiveness
